Generic White top, no brand name only found out media code at home. Cost is C$11.99 plus tax for this 50 spindle, no longer available since it was a clearance item

The burn quality of these discs is fairly high. However, since the introduction of OptoDisc's 4x discs, the quality of the actual discs has diminished greatly. There are dye overruns, air bubbles in between the hubs and the top layers. If you avoid using the visually imperfect discs, you will have a 95% success rate. Certain discs skip on playback in low-quality laser machines (ie Apex, Playstation 2, Cyberhome, etc). Using quality standalones like the Phillips players yields perfect playback.

Took a chance on these as I normally use princos and was in a bind. Big mistake these were the worst garbage I've ever used next to generics of course. Pixelization and other anomalies in movies. Stay way from these and go for the Grade A princos which are cheaper anyway.

Discs seem to burn and play back OK *if* the blank is good to begin with... and herein lies the problem. I bought a couple of these cakeboxes from a local audio/video supplies outlet and burned a few; some played 100%, others exhibited blocky spots and freezes. A visual inspection of the discs showed dye defects on the non-playing discs, so I inspected every disc in both cakeboxes and came up with a total of 16 defective blanks out of 50 discs, or an almost 33% rejection rate.

I would consider that very poor reliability, no matter how you slice it.

I've been using the inkjet printable(same media code) with no problems. Got this spindle of Gold andonly have about 50% success. Can't write lead ins on some, lead outs on others. Some stutter in the DVD player on playback. I can see problems with the media and almost always predict a bad one. Very inconsistent quality.
